| Dubfire on his Oliver Huntemann collaboration ‘Dios’ Posted: 07 Nov 2008 10:43 PM CST As one of the most talked about and successful techno artists of the last 18 months, Ali ‘Dubfire’ Shirazinia should have little to prove. But as we found out recently, the biggest and most vehement critic of his oft-discussed new techno direction, is himself. Taking his latest collaboration with Oliver Huntemann as a decent excuse for a catch up, we discussed the process behind the Hawtin, Dice and Väth supported track 'Dios' (check it in the player below), the theory behind his own SCI + TEC label, and the blood, sweat and tears that go into his productions. |
| Tech News Roundup: November 7, 2008 Posted: 07 Nov 2008 08:00 PM CST While all eyes and ears have been focused on the US elections, it’s been a quiet week for product announcements from the major manufacturers. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t any news on the technology front - in fact, there are several noteworthy goodies that all share this week’s theme... Free. |
| London: Interview with disco crew Loose Posted: 07 Nov 2008 05:33 PM CST A while back we did an interview with London party crew Disco Blood Bath, who at the time were playing gay disco music in a very loud purple basement. Now they've moved on up in the world to venues such as Fabric and The End. Those boys have sure grown up. We felt it was time once again to pull back the duvet of London's underground disco scene and climb into bed with a disco crew who aren't plying their trade at London’s mega clubs, but rather throwing parties in small quirky venues across the city. Beatportal shared a Bakewell tart and a pint with Paul Crognale and Chris Edwards aka Cred, the boys behind east London’s latest party sensation Loose, just in time for their party this weekend with Belgian duo Aeroplane. |

| Let Go / Lovin’ Feeling - Kandi & Neumann Posted: 07 Nov 2008 11:28 AM CST With all the electro-prog-tech-trance crossovers these days, categorising tracks into specific genres can often be tricky. But Kandi & Neumann’s ‘Let Go’ fits 100% into the trance box. Danish producers Daniel Kandi and Daniel Neumann have joined forces to release ‘Let Go’ and ‘Lovin’ Feeling’ as part of a double package on Anjunabeats. |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2008 10:53 AM CST One of the most exciting musical developments of 2008 was a newly revived Dutch underground techno movement, led by the heavy hitting loops of 2000 And One, the funky tech house of Lauhaus, the minimal grooves of Kabale Und Liebe and the stunning house of Aroy Dee. Unlike some of the formulaic bongo rhythms and ethnic vocals characterising the current deep house revival, Aroy Dee's approach to house music is more melancholic, misshapen and expansive in its sources. |
| Moon Song - They Came From The Stars (I Saw Them) Posted: 07 Nov 2008 01:36 AM CST For those of you who don’t know, They Came From The Stars (I Saw Them) are a psychedelic version of the Flaming Lips with additional helpings of acid. This interstellar cut has been treated to a more earthly reworking from the king of italo-disco re-edits, Serge Santiago. |
